Kenny Hopper is a musician and product designer living in Portland, OR.
He was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. During the mid 90’s he helped form a group called, At The Drive-in and appeared on the first two releases (Hell Paso and Alfaro Vive Carajo)
In 2001 he moved to San Francisco where he created an instrumental prog-band, Crime in Choir (featuring Death Grips drummer, Zach Hill, synthesist, Jonas Reinhardt and other contributing artists)
In 2019, he began a studio project, Long Twins with collaborations from guitarist, Phil Manely (Trans Am and Life Coach); vocalist, Meryl Press; percussionist, Warren Huegal ( 3 Leafs and Daevid Allen Band); and vocalist, flutist, Elizabeth LoPiccolo.
Elizabeth LoPiccolo is a musician, film photographer, and performer living in Brooklyn, New York. She has been a member of Xhoir (an offshoot of Colin Self’s Xoir), a contributor to the music and performances of Ziemba (René Kladzyk, who takes her band name from her grandmother’s maiden name) and a long time collaborator with her husband, Rhys Ziemba (no relation to René Kladzyk, just pure coincidence!) Most recently Elizabeth has been a contributor of vocals, lyrics, and flute arrangements to the experimental synth tapestries of Long Twins.
In middle school band in Pensacola, Florida, Elizabeth played the flute. In her teens and twenties she joined local bands and learned to write flute parts as a member of Flat Broke Folk, The Cripple Lilies, and You Win Instantly. She learned to sing by making lots of mistakes, many of them at late night karaoke. Then a speech therapist helped her become more tenderly aware of the voice as a place and as an instrument. Elizabeth’s greatest patron is her cat, Max, who is attracted only to the most bell-like vocal tones and meows in encouragement when she achieves them.
